Couple expecting baby after man forgets to consult iPod Touch

CNN.com opened a new five-part series about smartphones with 28-year-old Doug Wilson. Such a smartphone devotee is the the Arkansas resident that he refuses to put his iPhone 4 in his pocket, lest he miss something.

Mostly, he’s worried about missing a cool photo opp, but recently a too-great distance from his iPod Touch resulted in a more unexpected outcome: a baby.

Then there’s his wife, Ashlee, whom he accidentally impregnated one evening after forgetting to look at an iPod app that explains the details of the rhythm method. “That’s how we got pregnant,” he said, “because I lost my [iPod Touch].” While the couple from Russellville, Arkansas, are now thrilled about their expected baby girl, Doug Wilson said the slip-up was yet another reminder that his phone should be turned on, in his hand, ready to accept alerts — all the time.

Forgetting to check your fertility app, then knocking up your wife? Apparently, there’s not an app for that.
